Focusing on Chinese drones that end up in Russia while completely ignoring the Chinese drones that end up in the Ukraine is some cherry picking I expected from the Telegraph. Products and components are made in China, which shouldn't come as a surprise.

    Ukraine only has consumer drones, I don't think they have any military drones

    That lack of distinction is 100% on purpose since China dominates the consumer drones market and they're so versatile and capable that countries all over the world including the US buy DJI drones for military operations

    Can blame China for giving every country "drones"

    They do. They have Bayraktar drones.

    I do agree that the lack of distinction is kind of stupid.
